Configuring the display of the OPC-server elements of the Data Access standard on the map

Configuring the display of elements on the map

To configure the display of elements on the map, do the following:

1. Go to the settings panel of the object corresponding to the required element.
   

2. From the Visual type list (1), select the set of element state icons. Icons of ACFA PSIM correspond to the Common icons value. You can create a custom set of icons (see below). 

3. Set the Analog params checkbox (2) if you want to display the value of an element in text form on the map.
4. Click the Apply button.

Creating custom icons

In ACFA PSIM, you can create your own icon sets. For this, do the following:

1. Run the ddi.exe utility (see Using the ddi.exe Tool to Work with DBI files).
2. Open the file located at the following path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Axxon PSIM\Languages\ru\psim.acfa.opc_wrapper.ddi.

3. Manually add a custom set of icons to the Icons tab of the OPC DA ITEM object in the utility.
   
   

4. Update the database structure using the idb.exe utility (see The idb.exe utility for converting databases, selecting database templates and making backup copies of databases).
5. The created set of icons will appear in the Visual type drop-down list on the settings panel of the OPC DA Item object.
6. Create the icons for the custom set.
7. Add these icons to the folder located at the C:\Program Files (x86)\Axxon PSIM\Bmp path.
